The best rain covers for your camera and lens in 2024

The best rain covers for cameras are the unsung heroes of outdoor photography. Even if the heavens open, you'll be able to carry on shooting without worrying about your gear getting damaged. Conversely, if you specifically intend to take photos on a wet day, for example if you're working in an area such as wildlife or sports, you'll be able to get unique pictures you wouldn't be able to capture otherwise.
